The Person Who 'Killed' PayPal Wants to Buy It

A potential acquisition that could reshape the global payments landscape is under discussion, as Stripe—valued at $159 billion—is reportedly considering acquiring all or parts of PayPal, which has a market cap of just $43 billion. The news drove PayPal’s stock up nearly 7%. PayPal has faced significant challenges: its stock fell 46% over the past year amid rising competition from Apple Pay, Google Pay, and agile rivals like Adyen and Stripe. Despite its vast user network of 438 million active accounts and strong presence in cross-border transactions, PayPal has struggled to keep pace with shifting user behaviors and the rise of embedded and social payments. However, PayPal retains valuable assets, including Braintree (processing around $700 billion annually), Venmo (with 100 million monthly active users), and a deeply entrenched global payments infrastructure. A key underlying motive for the deal is stablecoins. PayPal launched its own stablecoin, PYUSD, adopting a centralized approach to digital currency. In contrast, Stripe has pursued an infrastructure-focused strategy, acquiring stablecoin infrastructure firm Bridge and launching “Open Issuance”—a platform that enables businesses to issue their own stablecoins. Stripe is also developing Tempo, a Layer-1 blockchain aimed at challenging traditional settlement networks like SWIFT. A combined Stripe-PayPal entity could create a powerful Web3 payment ecosystem, integrating PYUSD with Tempo’s fast, low-cost transactions and leveraging Venmo’s user base. This could also support emerging use cases like AI Agent payments, where machines transact autonomously using crypto wallets. Regulatory and cultural hurdles remain significant, and the deal is still in early stages. But the talks signal a broader industry shift: future dominance in payments may belong to those who control next-generation infrastructure, not just scale.

$2T lost in 140 days: Why this crypto market crash looks different

The crypto market has experienced a severe crash, losing $2 trillion in value over 140 days, with Bitcoin falling nearly 50% and Ethereum down 62% from their peaks. Altcoins like Solana dropped even more sharply, with some smaller tokens losing up to 90% of their value. Unlike previous cycles, this downturn appears more severe and prolonged, driven by a combination of factors including miner capitulation, weak post-halving demand, and significant forced liquidations exceeding $600 million in 24 hours. Additionally, geopolitical tensions and U.S. tariff policies have pushed investors toward safer assets like the U.S. dollar and gold. Key on-chain metrics such as negative MVRV ratios for Bitcoin and Ethereum indicate widespread losses, but historical patterns of oversold rebounds may not hold this time. The market remains under pressure, with no clear signs of immediate recovery.

Here’s The Most Important XRP Development That No One Is Talking About

Crypto pundit Jay Nisbett highlights a significant yet underreported development in the XRP ecosystem: SBI is issuing on-chain bonds that immediately provide holders an equivalent amount of XRP and pay interest over three years. This $65 million retail offering in Japan is seen as a form of "carry trade easing," allowing investors to mitigate risks from yen inflation and declining spreads by holding A-rated bonds while gaining XRP exposure. Nisbett argues this mechanism is objectively better than holding yen or buying XRP outright, and could lead to larger institutional offerings, deeper liquidity pools, and broader adoption of XRP through structured financial products.

Europe doubles down on ‘same risk, same rules’ approach for crypto derivatives

Europe's securities watchdog ESMA has reaffirmed that crypto derivatives, particularly perpetual contracts, will be regulated under the same "same risk, same rules" framework as traditional high-risk financial products like CFDs. Regulatory treatment depends on a product's economic substance, not its name or marketing. This means leveraged crypto derivatives are subject to existing EU rules, including leverage caps, risk warnings, and investor protection measures under MiFID II. The statement serves as a regulatory reminder, not a new ban, emphasizing that crypto markets must integrate into the existing financial system under established safeguards. Firms must ensure compliance and avoid mass-market promotion of these high-risk products to retail investors.

Stablecoin Payments On Instagram, WhatsApp, And Facebook Planned For H2 2026

Meta Platforms is reportedly preparing to reenter the digital payments space by integrating stablecoin-based transactions across Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook, targeting a rollout in the second half of 2026. Unlike its previous attempt with the Diem (formerly Libra) project, which faced regulatory pushback and was shut down, Meta is now seeking third-party partnerships to support the infrastructure. Payments company Stripe, which recently acquired stablecoin infrastructure platform Bridge and whose CEO joined Meta’s board, is a leading candidate. If implemented, the move could enable instant cross-border payments for Meta’s over 3 billion users, potentially accelerating mainstream crypto adoption.

Seeker is up 40% in 24 hours: Will profit-taking trap SKR bulls?

Solana Mobile's Seeker token (SKR) surged over 70% in 24 hours, surpassing a $100 million market cap, following its listing on the Upbit exchange. The listing, which introduced SKR trading pairs with BTC, USDT, and KRW, led to a 429% increase in daily trading volume, particularly attracting Asian market traders. The price broke out of a falling trend channel, rallying from $0.19 to above $0.26. Key indicators like the Cumulative Volume Delta and Chaikin Money Flow showed strong buying pressure and capital inflow. However, profit-taking emerged as a significant risk, with the Long/Short Ratio dropping sharply, indicating traders were selling to secure gains. This suggests the rally may be unsustainable and could face a pullback.

Terraform’s $40B Collapse Back in Spotlight as Jane Street Faces Insider Trading Lawsuit

Terraform Labs' $40 billion collapse is back in the spotlight as Jane Street faces an insider trading lawsuit. The complaint, filed by Terraform's bankruptcy administrator, alleges the trading giant used confidential information to avoid losses and hasten the ecosystem's downfall in May 2022. It claims Jane Street obtained non-public details through a former Terraform intern and executed trades minutes after Terraform secretly removed 150 million UST from a liquidity pool, before the information was public. Jane Street denies the allegations, blaming Terraform's management for the collapse. The case could set a precedent for oversight of institutional trading and information asymmetry in crypto markets.

Bitcoin slips toward $62K as Polymarket odds fade on a February rebound

Bitcoin declined toward $62,000 during Tuesday's session, continuing a broader pullback that has persisted through late February. Prediction markets on Polymarket significantly reduced the probability of a meaningful rebound by month-end, with contracts betting on Bitcoin reaching $80,000 or higher now carrying odds of 2% or less. The asset has struggled to reclaim key resistance levels, and increased selling pressure during rallies suggests a lack of bullish momentum. Traders are increasingly considering downside scenario, with a 23% probability assigned to Bitcoin falling to or below $60,000 by February's close. The cautious sentiment extends across the crypto market, with major altcoins also declining and capital moving to stablecoins rather than alternative assets.

Dogecoin Analyst Reveals When The ‘Real Money’ Is Made

Dogecoin is currently in a major downtrend, testing the $0.1 level amid market volatility. Analyst @AltCryptoGems suggests that the best time to make "real money" in DOGE is not during hype-driven breakouts, but during extended periods of low activity and sideways trading. Historically, DOGE has remained inactive for months before delivering explosive gains, such as the 10,337% surge in 2021 and the 740% rally in 2024. The analyst identifies the current "boring phase" as a potential accumulation zone between $0.1 and $0.3, projecting a possible 177% rise to around $0.25 from current levels.
